Dialogues

Upon arrival (non-cinematic):

Mr. Sparkles: Zojja-requires-rescue. Must-break-down-offending-door.

At Zojja:

<Character name>: Zojja, are you hurt? We came to rescue you, but judging from the fire and fallen Inquest, you handled it well on your own.

Zojja: Not quite. It took all I had to get this far and hold them off. I did not want to jump off this cliff. I hate getting wet.

Zojja: They've been testing your teleporter on more innocents. When they're done, the subjects are disposed of with a prototype incinerator golem.

Zojja: When I busted out, their next victim was behind a force field by the stairs. You probably saw him on the way in.

<Character name>: I did. And it's time to get the Inquest to cease and desist...which means let's go smash us a prototype incinerator golem.

Zojja: Done and done. You take the lead. Mr. Sparkles and I will watch your back.

During the fight (non-cinematic):

Prototype Incinerator Golem: Alert. Hostiles-approaching. Destroy.

Prototype Incinerator Golem: Damage-report: minimal. Error: damage-report-systems-have-been-damaged.

Prototype Incinerator Golem: Attempting-to-uphold-prime-directive: destroy-all-intruders. Error: intruders-not-complying.

Prototype Incinerator Golem: Engaging-"last-ditch-effort"-protocols.

At Zojja:

Zojja: That's one less mechanism for the Inquest to exploit the innocent. Now for the bad news: Varkk sold you out.

Zojja: I didn't want to say anything at first- I hate betrayals even more than getting wet- and I figured, hey, you might get killed, and then I wouldn't have to tell you.

<Character name>: Pragmatic, as always. But I can't believe that about Varkk. I've known him for ages, and he's always been loyal to the krewe.

Zojja: Not this time. Varkk is working with the Inquest. How else would they have known about our ambush plans? Why else would they kidnap Pol?

Zojja: Sorry, did I neglect to mention that, too? They took Pol to keep him quiet, and to use as leverage against you. That gives you a tough choice to make.

Zojja: Varkk is slippery, and Pol's in danger. Go after one, you'll loose the other. So tell me, what's more important to you: revenge, or rescue? Whichever you choose, I'm coming with you.

When talking to Zojja:

Zojja: Your krewe, your call. Save your pal Pol, or take down that varmint Varkk?

Varkk betrayed the krewe and tried to kill us. He has to pay.

Zojja: I concur. His punishment will serve justice, and serve to warn off other would-be villains. I'll meet you in Rata Sum.

Agreed.

Varkk's a snake, but Pol's my krewemate. I can't leave him to die.

Zojja: I can appreciate loyalty. Just don't let people think you're soft- Rata Sum will eat you alive if you show weakness.

They won't. Especially after they see what I do to the Inquest. Let's go.

My Story

“ Mr. Sparkles and I fought our way into the Funhouse to rescue Zojja. Once inside, we found she had the Inquest goons who took her either on the run or unconscious, so you could also say we rescued them from her. In any case, we helped Zojja get out of the facility and destroyed the Inquest's vile incinerator golem, into which they had been feeding test subjects who had outlived their usefulness. Then Zojja informed us that our krew chief Varkk had been working with the Inquest all along, and that the Inquest had kidnapped Pol. I had to decide: rescue my friend and krewemate Pol, or see that the traitor Varkk gets what he deserves? — My story
